Far from being mere ornaments, flowers have shaped the very fabric of life on our planet.

He also uncovers their crucial role in human history, as cultural emblems, keys to scientific leaps, and evolutionary catalysts, with flowering grasses calling our ancestors to leave the trees, laying the foundation for agriculture and modern civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom lessons in resilience and creativity found among gardeners' favourites, such as magnolias, orchids, and roses, to rediscovering lesser-known wonders, like our uncelebrated underwater meadows that sustain life and the secrets of our most humble wildflowers, \u003cem\u003eHow Flowers Made Our World\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers to see these blooms in a whole new light—as the dynamic and influential forces they truly are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083875795180,"sku":"9781911709992","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781911709992.jpg?v=1765298677"},{"product_id":"emergence-by-david-haskell-9781792191640","title":"Emergence","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Haskell, author of the dystopian tale \u003ci\u003eDark Alignment\u003c\/i\u003e, returns with \u003ci\u003eEmergence\u003c\/i\u003e, a story of artificial intelligence in the era of singularity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn ancient archive.
